PULP CTHULHU: How to Play 1 - Concepts and Themes

The RPGBOT.Podcast

Welcome to the RPGBOT.Podcast, where today's lesson is simple: cosmic horror, but with punchable Nazis. If classic Call of Cthulhu is about fragile academics discovering forbidden truths and immediately dying, Pulp Cthulhu is about kicking down the door, firing a shotgun at an elder god, and saying, "That all you got?" This episode is about concepts, themes, and vibes—the part of the game where sanity is optional, luck is currency, and surviving certain death might involve parachuting into a hot-air balloon you didn't know was there. Grab your fedora. We're going full pulp. Show Notes What Is Pulp Cthulhu? Pulp Cthulhu is a fully compatible variant of Call of Cthulhu that dials the game from existential despair to high-octane pulp adventure. Characters are tougher, more competent, and far more likely to survive long enough to matter. If Call of Cthulhu is The Thing or Evil Dead, Pulp Cthulhu is The Mummy, Army of Darkness, or Indiana Jones with eldritch nightmares.  Core Themes & Tone Heroic pulp action instead of grim cosmic inevitability Investigators who can take multiple hits and keep fighting A lighter, often comedic tone without abandoning horror Quips, gadgets, globe-trotting, and cinematic set pieces This makes Pulp Cthulhu an excellent transition for players coming from Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, or other heroic tabletop RPGs. Setting & Genre Shift Time period: 1930s, just before World War II Scope: Global adventures—London, Cairo, jungles, ruins, secret bases Enemies: Cultists, mythos horrors… and a suspicious number of Nazis The game leans hard into classic pulp tropes: secret societies, forbidden relics, occult conspiracies, and globe-spanning races against evil. Core Mechanics D100 roll-under system with degrees of success Regular, Hard, and Extreme successes replace DCs Fumbles and pushed rolls create escalating consequences Skills improve when you fail them during advancement These mechanics reward specialization while keeping tension high, even for highly skilled characters. What Makes Pulp Cthulhu Different? Archetypes Two-Fisted Hero, Hard-Boiled Detective, Mystic, Mad Scientist, Femme Fatale, and more Each archetype boosts a core characteristic and grants bonus skills Talents Passive and active abilities that enhance combat, investigation, or survivability Categories include Physical, Mental, Combat, and Weird Science Hit Points Roughly double standard Call of Cthulhu HP Still deadly—just less instantly fatal Luck as a Meta-Currency Spend luck to: Cancel fumbles Reduce damage Stay conscious Cheat death entirely (with a suitably ridiculous explanation) Luck regenerates every session, encouraging aggressive use Insanity, Magic, and Weird Science Insane Talents can grant powerful abilities with narrative drawbacks Magic is faster to learn but still dangerous and unpredictable Psychic powers like telekinesis and clairvoyance are viable builds Weird Science introduces death rays, jetpacks, ghost detectors, and other Flash-Gordon-adjacent nonsense Yes, you can build a psychic mind-wizard or a mad scientist with a death ray. The game actively wants you to try. The Pulp Meter The game supports multiple pulp levels: Low Pulp: Almost classic Call of Cthulhu Mid Pulp: Standard Pulp Cthulhu rules High Pulp: Extra talents, cinematic survivability, full nonsense This episode sets the stage for going high pulp in future sessions Key Takeaways Pulp Cthulhu trades hopeless cosmic horror for heroic pulp survival Characters are tougher, more competent, and more fun to invest in Luck is a central mechanic that fuels cinematic storytelling The 1930s setting enables globe-trotting, occult conspiracies, and pulp villains Perfect for groups who want action, investigation, and horror without constant character death If you've ever wanted to punch Cthulhu—or at least shoot near him—this is your game Welcome to the RPGBOT Podcast.

When God Will Interrupts your Subconscious

In this episode of Concepts and Conversations, Coach Bryan dives into a deeply reflective and necessary conversation about what happens when God disrupts the narrative you've been telling yourself. Many of us live governed by self-consciousness—how we are perceived, what we lack, past mistakes, insecurities, and internal limitations that quietly shape our decisions. But what happens when God interrupts that internal dialogue?This episode explores how divine interruptions often challenge our comfort, confront our self-image, and force us to see ourselves through God's perspective rather than our own distorted lens. Coach Bryan unpacks how self-conscious thinking can keep us stuck in fear, hesitation, comparison, and delay—and how God's timing, correction, and calling often arrive precisely when we feel most unqualified.Through personal insight, spiritual principles, and practical reflection, this conversation highlights the difference between being self-aware and being self-dominated, and why growth requires surrendering control of the story we keep rehearsing in our minds. If you've ever felt paused by doubt, silenced by insecurity, or reluctant to move because you didn't “feel ready,” this episode will challenge you to recognize that God's interruption is often an invitation to elevation.This is a conversation about obedience over comfort, purpose over perception, and trusting God even when His direction disrupts your self-conscious plans.

The Painful Ending Act 1

In this episode of Concepts and Conversations, Coach Bryan opens the door to a chapter that many people experience but few talk about honestly—the slow, uncomfortable realization that a connection must come to an end before it ever fully becomes a relationship.The Painful Ending – Act 1 introduces a strong romantic interest from an infamous city in Tennessee and places listeners inside the mind of a man on the brink of emotional clarity. At nearly 31 years old, Bryan finds himself wrestling with internal tension: the attraction is real, the proximity is unavoidable, and yet the discernment is undeniable. He knows she is not what is best for him—but knowing and doing are two very different things.This episode explores the quiet conflict of being drawn to someone while simultaneously recognizing the need for distance. It captures the moments where avoidance feels necessary, where shared spaces complicate emotional detachment, and where maturity demands restraint rather than pursuit. What makes this act especially gripping is that nothing has “gone wrong” on the surface—no dramatic fallout, no official relationship, no clear ending—just the heavy weight of realization and the painful discipline required to honor it.Act 1 is not about closure; it's about awareness. It's about the beginning of withdrawal, the internal negotiations, and the subtle shifts that happen when you start choosing peace over potential. As the tension builds, listeners are left with an unanswered question: will distance be enough, or will unresolved emotions demand a confrontation?This is the setup. The realization. The internal breaking point.The ending has begun—but the story is far from over.

The Danger of Chasing

In this episode of Concepts and Conversations, Coach Bryan breaks down a hard but necessary truth: chasing anything—people, validation, status, success, or relationships—often comes at the cost of your peace, clarity, and identity. What begins as desire can quickly turn into desperation, and when chasing becomes a pattern, it quietly reshapes how we show up, what we tolerate, and what we compromise.This episode explores how chasing places you in a reactive posture, positioning you to pursue instead of discern, to impress instead of align, and to move ahead of timing rather than in it. Coach Bryan unpacks how chasing distorts power dynamics in relationships, creates emotional imbalance, and leads many people to confuse effort with purpose. The conversation challenges listeners to examine whether their pursuit is rooted in purpose or insecurity.Through reflection, real-life application, and practical insight, this episode addresses why what is meant for you does not require you to abandon your values, chase approval, or shrink yourself to be chosen. It also highlights the importance of attraction over pursuit, alignment over effort, and preparation over pressure.If you've ever felt exhausted from trying to make something work, frustrated from running after what keeps running away, or unsure whether you're pursuing the right things for the right reasons, this episode will help you recalibrate. The Danger of Chasing is a call to slow down, regain your footing, and allow what's aligned with your life to meet you where you are.

The future of human evolution will not be decided by genes alone, but by meaning, choice, and culture itself. In this Part 2 of our conversation, Dr. Liane Gabora (University of British Columbia) explores how ideas evolve through creativity, cooperation, and intentional change rather than blind copying. We examine why cultures fracture, recombine, and sometimes collapse. And how concepts behave more like dynamic systems than fixed beliefs. What emerges is a vision of human evolution driven by minds in relationship, where the next phase depends less on survival and more on how we choose to think.Part 1: https://youtu.be/8mnHM7lyfOEPATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-showHOMEBREW MUSIC - Check out our new album!Hard Copies (Vinyl): FREE SHIPPING https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/products/vinyl-lp-secretary-of-nature-everything-is-so-good-hereStreaming:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-here00:00 Go!

#124 - 15 Concepts That Changed My Life

If there's one podcast you listen to this week, I hope it's this one! I'm genuinely proud of this episode, as it distills some of the most powerful concepts I've learned, refined, and applied over the past 30 years. I believe you'll find it thought-provoking and impactful—and for some listeners, it may even prove life-changing. To mark the new year, I've intentionally broadened the scope of this episode beyond climbing-specific training...to explore human performance, mindset, values, and intentional living. For this month, think of it as a true training for life podcast. At the heart of the episode is a simple but important idea: most people live far below their true potential—not because of a lack of ability, but because of unexamined habits, limiting beliefs, fear, distraction, and cultural groupthink. Reclaiming personal power, I believe, begins with conscious control of your thoughts, decisions, values, and daily actions. Drawing on decades of study, coaching, self-experimentation, and reflection, I present a set of 15 principles designed to lift you above mediocrity and support sustained progress toward meaningful goals. These concepts aren't quick fixes—they're daily disciplines that compound over time. When applied consistently, they elevate core life habits and mental frameworks, and ultimately feed back into better climbing performance, improved health, and deeper fulfillment. A recurring theme throughout the episode is agency: you are largely self-made, your future is mostly under your control, and lasting change begins with intentional action taken today—not someday. RUNDOWN 0:15 - New Year's greeting!? 0:45 - Are you reset for a "reset" and course correction with your life? 1:12 - Value-based goal setting. 3:54 - Overview of human performance -- YOU, dear listener, are far more powerful than you can possibly imagine! 11:15 - Brief Podcast Sponsor message from PhysiVantage Nutrition.

I called them my "Mental Wings." 15:23 - #1: Your quality of life is directly related to the quality of your thoughts 17:05 - #2: Human beings are the embodiment of unused potential.  17:52 - #3: To outperform the masses, you must do things they don't do.  20:02 - #4: Clarity of values and goals, and a clear purpose for living form the foundation for a life full of rich, transcending experiences.  21:02 - #5: Risk is a precursor to reward.  22:07 - #6: Almost anything is possible once you conquer fear. 25:05 - #7: Singular focus and indomitable persistence knows no limits.  26:20 - #8: Obstacles and adversity make you stronger. 27:50 - #9: A fit body potentiates a fit mind.  29:14 - #10: Life is subtle—sweat the small stuff! 32:40 - #11: Your future is largely determined in the brief moment between stimulus and response (in any activity).  34:05 - #12: Maintain a dynamic, evolving life process by reinventing yourself from time to time.  35:50 - #13: Enjoy this moment—this moment is your life.  36:40 - #14: Unconditional love is the most powerful force in the universe.  37:17 - #15: In the final analysis, you are mostly self-made.  39:15 - Summary thoughts -- please share this podcast with a friend...or on your Social Media.

When did we stop asking how things work? Rich Greene joins the show to talk about his new podcast Plaintext with Rich, and we get into something that matters more than any tech: curiosity itself.Rich spent 20 years in Special Operations before becoming a SANS instructor. Now he's taking complex tech topics and breaking them down for people who need to understand, not just use.There's a tension building between the tech sector and society at large. AI promises to make everything easier, and maybe it does. But easier can become a trap when it stops us from asking the fundamental questions. When convenience replaces comprehension, we don't just lose technical skill, we lose the ability to think critically about the systems we're building and trusting.The conversation pushes on a deeper problem: we're creating a generation that believes technology is magic. That you can "vibe code" production software. That prompts replace understanding. And when everything becomes a black box, we've surrendered more than we realize.Communication and curiosity - those are the skills that matter when the tools change every six months.Find Plaintext with Rich: Spotify Apple Podcasts Blog on Medium

This episode's guest is Dr. Mark Earnest, Division Head of Internal Medicine at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical School. The conversation centers on the concepts of psychological size and psychological safety in medicine. Psychological size is described as a relational dynamic involving power and status within professional interactions. Psychological safety refers to creating an environment where people feel comfortable having open, honest conversations. Dr. Earnest shares stories that illustrate these concepts in the healthcare setting and emphasizes how leaders must be proactive in recognizing and managing power dynamics. In addition, he highlights the benefits of early education, how ongoing modeling of positive behaviors are essential, and that organizational culture set by leadership has measurable impacts on outcomes, satisfaction, and risk.

The brief describes how recent incidents collectively show a rapidly evolving, increasingly interconnected global cyber threat landscape that blends financial crime, strategic espionage, physical-world risk, and systemic surveillance failures.Financially Driven CybercrimeCybercriminals are shifting to low-interaction, trust-exploiting techniques, such as clipboard-hijacking malware masquerading as “KMSAuto” that silently replaces copied crypto wallet addresses and has impacted millions of systems.Fraudsters are also using AI-generated images and video to fake damaged goods and exploit e-commerce refund policies at scale, turning automated, trust-based processes into predictable profit channels.Strategic-Scale Data TheftLarge data breaches like the Aflac incident show adversaries targeting core personal identifiers (e.g., Social Security numbers, IDs, medical data), creating permanent assets for identity theft, fraud, and social engineering rather than quick monetization.Espionage campaigns such as “Zoom Stealer” use malicious browser extensions to harvest meeting links, topics, participant data, and passwords, enabling persistent corporate spying and highly customized social-engineering attacks.Digital-Physical Convergence of ThreatsDemonstrations of hijacking AI-controlled robots via voice commands illustrate how user-friendly features can be weaponized, enabling cascading compromises and potential physical harm as robots infect one another and execute dangerous actions.Concepts like space “zone effect” weapons—clouds of orbital debris able to damage any satellite passing through—highlight how hostile capabilities can create indiscriminate, long-lasting risks to civilian, commercial, and military infrastructure worldwide.Insecure Surveillance as Systemic RiskBoth government and private surveillance systems can become mass-exposure hazards when basic security is neglected, as seen with an unprotected national license plate database and misconfigured AI camera networks streaming footage openly.These failures turn tools designed for safety and control into uncontrolled sources of sensitive data, undermining public trust and creating new exploitation opportunities at societal scale.Strategic Implications for LeadersThreat motivations now span from opportunistic, high-volume fraud to patient, state-level operations against critical and space-based systems, requiring layered defenses tailored to varied adversaries and timelines.Emerging technologies like AI, robotics, and pervasive sensing are double-edged: they drive efficiency but also introduce new attack surfaces that must be secured from the design phase, not retrofitted later.The rapid deployment of mass monitoring without commensurate safeguards is generating systemic vulnerabilities, meaning resilience now depends as much on securing surveillance infrastructures as on defending traditional IT assets.

Popper offers little on this point, yet Hofstadter's view of the human mind as a system of self-referential feedback loops—able to bridge gaps that formal logic cannot—may provide a useful way to think about it.And while we're at it, let's poke at one of the CritRats' sacred cows: is it actually the case that observations have no role other than helping us pick between rival theories?⁠⁠Support us on Patreon

This is a re-release of a super popular episode from back in 2023 - happy holidays! Learning JavaScript from scratch can be as much about syntax as it is programming concepts, especially when it's your first language. Concepts like knowing how and why you need a place to store bits of data (variables), re-using code snippets instead of writing them repeatedly (functions), making decisions (conditional statements), and working with collections of data (arrays and looping) are all second nature to experienced developers. These concepts are the foundational building blocks that let you solve problems by thinking like a computer (sometimes this is called programmatic logic). In this episode, Matt and Mike discuss these key JavaScript basics including variables, functions, conditional statements, arrays, and looping.

You survived the one-shot. No one died permanently. Only some rules were misunderstood. Now comes the most dangerous phase of any tabletop experience: questions. In this episode, the RPGBOT crew sits down after the Pathfinder 2e one-shot to answer the things every new player asks—what worked, what didn't, what we forgot, and why Pathfinder 2e somehow makes rules discussions feel productive instead of like a rules-lawyer cage match. Pathfinder 2e Re-Releases! Perfect timing for learning, teaching, and holiday one-shots: RPGBOT is re-releasing our Pathfinder 2e Quickstart episodes for the 2025 holiday season! These remastered episodes are ideal for new players, GMs running demos, and groups revisiting PF2e after a long break—just in time to answer all those "wait, how does that work again?" questions.

This episode focuses on reflection, clarification, and practical advice drawn directly from actual gameplay. We revisit moments from the one-shot to explain how actions, reactions, conditions, and skill usage worked in practice, clarifying rules that are often misunderstood during early PF2e play. The discussion highlights how the three-action economy rewards thoughtful decisions, how teamwork improves outcomes, and what players should prioritize learning first versus what can wait. This episode is especially helpful for groups that have just finished a Pathfinder 2e one-shot, as it bridges the gap between reading the rules and truly understanding how the system feels at the table. By addressing common mistakes and "aha" moments, we help listeners gain confidence heading into longer PF2e campaigns. Key Takeaways Pathfinder 2e becomes clearer after seeing the rules in action. Post-game discussion is one of the best ways to learn PF2e. The three-action economy rewards planning and flexibility. New players commonly overlook reactions, conditions, and positioning. Teamwork and coordination matter more than individual optimization. One-shots are an excellent teaching tool for Pathfinder Second Edition.

We also look at how PF2e combat flows, what kinds of strategies matter, and how actions and reactions drive tactical gameplay. If you're curious about Pathfinder Second Edition, wanting a quickstart guide, or simply preparing your group for a brand-new campaign, this episode has the foundational tips you need to begin adventuring right away. Key Takeaways Pathfinder 2e uses a three-action economy, giving players tactical freedom. Proficiency matters—trained, expert, master, legendary all influence your rolls. Pathfinder 2e emphasizes tactical positioning and deliberate decision-making. Character creation focuses on choosing an ancestry, background, and class to determine strengths and abilities. Combat relies heavily on actions, reactions, and movement, making every turn meaningful. Pathfinder 2e is ideal for players seeking rich choices and balanced gameplay.

#752: The Leadership Flywheel: How to Build a Self-Managing Team That Scales Without You

Episode Overview In this episode of the John Kitchens Coach Podcast, John Kitchens and Joel Perso close out the Agent to CEO six-part series by unpacking the final and most critical milestone: The Leadership Flywheel. This conversation is all about building a self-managing, self-sustaining team—one that doesn't rely on you as the bottleneck. John and Joel break down how elite leaders design lean organizational structures, recruit true A-players, and create leadership development systems that generate momentum instead of burnout. If you've ever felt trapped by your team, overwhelmed by people decisions, or unsure how to scale without chaos, this episode delivers the blueprint for moving from operator to architect—and leading at the CEO level. Key Topics Covered The Leadership Flywheel Explained What a flywheel really is—and why leadership must create momentum, not friction Why teams fail when leadership systems aren't intentional How leaders move from "doing" to designing the business Designing a Lean, Modern Org Structure Using the Functional Accountability Chart (FAC) to separate people from roles Why you must define functions before hiring humans How AI-first thinking reshapes org design and eliminates unnecessary roles A-Players, Defined What an A-player actually is (and what they are not) Why "job done 90% of the time within the pay range" is the real standard How resourcefulness separates high performers from everyone else AI, VAs, and Fractional Talent The correct order: AI → VAs → Fractional → Full-time Why hiring out of pain creates long-term damage How modern leaders raise the talent ceiling while lowering overhead Scorecards, Agreements, and Ownership Why expectations fail—and agreements win How data-driven scorecards eliminate ambiguity Creating clear ownership so leaders stop rescuing their team Leadership Development That Scales Why leadership isn't just for managers—it's for everyone Creating micro-leadership opportunities inside your organization The power of daily wins, public accountability, and cultural ownership Preventing Burnout in A-Players Why C-players burn out A-players faster than workload How to identify when roles need to split before performance drops Monitoring hours, opportunity alignment, and growth paths Resources & Mentions The Agent to CEO Framework Functional Accountability Chart (FAC) Honey Badger Nation John Kitchens Executive Coaching → JohnKitchens.coach Concepts from Jim Collins, Patrick Lencioni, David Marquet Final Takeaway You don't scale by hiring more people—you scale by designing better leadership systems. The Leadership Flywheel isn't about control. It's about clarity, ownership, and momentum. When leaders design the structure, recruit intentionally, and develop leadership at every level, the business stops relying on them—and starts growing without them. "You can't build a self-sustaining business without developing leaders. That's the flywheel." – John Kitchens Connect with Us: Instagram: @johnkitchenscoach LinkedIn: @johnkitchenscoach Facebook: @johnkitchenscoach If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to subscribe and leave a review.

as with all demo-heavy and especially vision AI podcasts, we encourage watching along on our YouTube (and tossing us an upvote/subscribe if you like!) From SAM 1's 11-million-image data engine to SAM 2's memory-based video tracking, MSL's Segment Anything project has redefined what's possible in computer vision. Now SAM 3 takes the next leap: concept segmentation—prompting with natural language like "yellow school bus" or "tablecloth" to detect, segment, and track every instance across images and video, in real time, with human-level exhaustivity. And with the latest SAM Audio (https://x.com/aiatmeta/status/2000980784425931067?s=46), SAM can now even segment audio output! We sat down with Nikhila Ravi (SAM lead at Meta) and Pengchuan Zhang (SAM 3 researcher) alongside Joseph Nelson (CEO, Roboflow) to unpack how SAM 3 unifies interactive segmentation, open-vocabulary detection, video tracking, and more into a single model that runs in 30ms on images and scales to real-time video on multi-GPU setups. We dig into the data engine that automated exhaustive annotation from two minutes per image down to 25 seconds using AI verifiers fine-tuned on Llama, the new SACO (Segment Anything with Concepts) benchmark with 200,000+ unique concepts vs. the previous 1.2k, how SAM 3 separates recognition from localization with a presence token, why decoupling the detector and tracker was critical to preserve object identity in video, how SAM 3 Agents unlock complex visual reasoning by pairing SAM 3 with multimodal LLMs like Gemini, and the real-world impact: 106 million smart polygons created on Roboflow saving humanity an estimated 130+ years of labeling time across fields from cancer research to underwater trash cleanup to autonomous vehicle perception. We discuss: What SAM 3 is: a unified model for concept-prompted segmentation, detection, and tracking in images and video using atomic visual concepts like "purple umbrella" or "watering can" How concept prompts work: short text phrases that find all instances of a category without manual clicks, plus visual exemplars (boxes, clicks) to refine and adapt on the fly Real-time performance: 30ms per image (100 detected objects on H200), 10 objects on 2×H200 video, 28 on 4×, 64 on 8×, with parallel inference and "fast mode" tracking The SACO benchmark: 200,000+ unique concepts vs. 1.2k in prior benchmarks, designed to capture the diversity of natural language and reach human-level exhaustivity The data engine: from 2 minutes per image (all-human) to 45 seconds (model-in-loop proposals) to 25 seconds (AI verifiers for mask quality and exhaustivity checks), fine-tuned on Llama 3.2 Why exhaustivity is central: every instance must be found, verified by AI annotators, and manually corrected only when the model misses—automating the hardest part of segmentation at scale Architecture innovations: presence token to separate recognition ("is it in the image?") from localization ("where is it?"), decoupled detector and tracker to preserve identity-agnostic detection vs. identity-preserving tracking Building on Meta's ecosystem: Perception Encoder, DINO v2 detector, Llama for data annotation, and SAM 2's memory-based tracking backbone SAM 3 Agents: using SAM 3 as a visual tool for multimodal LLMs (Gemini, Llama) to solve complex visual reasoning tasks like "find the bigger character" or "what distinguishes male from female in this image" Fine-tuning with as few as 10 examples: domain adaptation for specialized use cases (Waymo vehicles, medical imaging, OCR-heavy scenes) and the outsized impact of negative examples Real-world impact at Roboflow: 106M smart polygons created, saving 130+ years of labeling time across cancer research, underwater trash cleanup, autonomous drones, industrial automation, and more — MSL FAIR team Nikhila: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikhilaravi/ Pengchuan: https://pzzhang.github.io/pzzhang/ Joseph Nelson X: https://x.com/josephofiowa LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/josephofiowa/ [FLIGHTCAST_CHATPERS]
